The current state and future direction of Afghanistan is at the forefront of American and global interests.  Conditions in Afghanistan continue to pose serious challenges for peace and security within its borders and for the region, the U.S. and the international community. 

The speaker, U.S. Embassy (Kuala Lumpur) Counselor for Public Affairs Scott M. Rauland, has considerable experience working and living in Afghanistan as Counselor for Public Affairs in Kabul before coming to Malaysia, and, among other issues, continues to keep abreast of developments in that country.   In his presentation on Afghanistan: Moving Forward,  Mr. Rauland, will focus on the contributions that civilians are making to building a strategic partnership that addresses security, stabilization and development for a safer, more prosperous Afghanistan, and why and how the U.S. strategy involves the international community.  He will also talk about U.S. public diplomacy efforts in Afghanistan, including the role of the network of Lincoln Corners in that country.
